J. Neurochem.(2010)114, 191–202.AbstractNMDA receptors (NMDAR) contribute to neuronal development throughout the CNS. However, their mode(s) of activation preceding synaptic maturation is unclear, as they are not co‐localized with alpha‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methylisoxazole‐4‐propionate receptors (AMPARs) which normally provide sufficient depolarization to relieve voltage‐dependent blockade by Mg2+. We used cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) cultured at a near‐physiological KCl concentration to examine maturation‐dependent changes in NMDAR responses. In contrast, most studies use KCl‐supplemented medium to promote survival. At 2–4 daysin vitroCGNs: (i) express developmental markers resembling thein vivomigratory phenotype; (ii) maintain a basal amount of calcium responsive element‐binding protein phosphorylation that requires NMDARs and calcium/calmodulin‐dependent kinases, but not AMPARs; (iii) exhibit NMDA‐mediated Ca2+influx not effectively blocked by ambient Mg2+(0.75 mM) or AMPARs; (iv) maintain a more depolarized resting membrane potential and increased resistance compared to synaptically‐connected CGNs. Moreover, migrating CGNs in explant cultures demonstrate NMDA‐mediated Ca2+influx not effectively blocked by 0.75 mM Mg2+, and NMDAR but not AMPAR antagonists slow migration. These data suggest the biophysical properties of immature CGNs render NMDARs less sensitive to Mg2+blockade, enhancing the likelihood of activation in the absence of AMPAR depolarization.
